Trifecta?
Three is OK, but what about TEN?
What route would you plan to see all of Colorado's Corvid species in one
calendar day?
In what season?
Don't drive the route, just think one up, save gas, plan your time, just as
Einstein used to do "thought experiments".
Has anyone seen all ten in one
This morning I saw all three teals, the ducks with teal in the name, all with
in twenty feet of each other along the Souh Platte River. It rather cool after
reading this post. I don't think I would have thought about it with reading
this post.
Good birding

Just a few days ago, we had about 6 Cassin's at the feeders one block
northeast of Broadway and Iris, and they were here only briefly. Today,
they dominated the yard! I counted 32 at one point, but with all the snow
it the trees, I'm sure there were probably a few lurking during my count.
On a brief walk around Walden Ponds in Boulder, there were very few ducks out,
but four vocal Wilson’s Snipe flew out from Duck Pond and landed on the trail
along the boundary with Sawhill/Walden, where they were joined by robins and
killdeer, foraging on the trail for something I couldn’t see
I birded a bit of SW Longmont today. Had some nice migrants.

Birders,
Got up to 2 dozen Cassin's Finches in the yard and some Redwings showed up
with a Yellow-headed Blackbird in tow (#141), a new one for the yard. Then
a Cooper's Hawk and everyone scattered.

Today near Storm Mountain in Larimer Cty we have about 30 Cassin’s finches,
mostly females, 15 juncos, 6 siskins and a dozen Evening grosbeaks. Plus the
usual crows and magpies. Certainly looks like there’s a lot of Cassin’s finches
about! – Dave/nr Storm Moutain

Today I located the Red Crossbill adult female and she had TWO fledglings in
tow. They flew out of the cemetery across Taft Hill Road to the west. I
suspect that is the last I will see of this family but it was fun while it
lasted.

Hey CoBirds,
Wanted to report a Black-and-White Warbler passing through N. Boulder this
morning. I noticed what I thought was a Nuthatch gleaning the trunk of a tree
near my back door… and at closer look, a Black-and-White Warbler! Unmistakeable

Cassin’s Finches everywhere. I had a flock of 45+ in the trees around our place
in N. Boulder. Males and Females on my feeders. The most I have seen at one
time. Goldfinches and Yellow-Rumps (myrtle) were in the trees with them as
well. When they really get going with the singing and calling it
I just had at least 60 Cassin's Finches at my backyard platform feeder in
urban north Boulder. They've been present, on and off, for over an hour,
gobbling all the seed they can get. This is the first time I've seen in
them in my yard since November 21, 1996. Back then, I didn't realize at the
I had 4 Cassin's Finches - 3 males and 1 female - show up in my yard
yesterday morning & continue to visit throughout the day. They seemed to
prefer foraging on the ground below my feeders - only once did I see one of
them on a feeder. And they also seemed to prefer feeding all together - if
I’ve had upwards of 50 Cassin’s Finches here at my feeders west of Fort Collins
yesterday and today. Did realize how many they were until they took to the air!

It would be a first eBird County Report.
Hope you can get some photos or perhaps better description of birds to
ensure they were Curve-billed Thrashers..

While I was outside yesterday, a male Broad-tailed Hummingbird zinged by and
perched in a tree for a few seconds before moving on. Unfortunately for the
hummingbird, both feeders were frozen and covered by several inches of snow.
Ira’s post earlier this morning reminded me of an idea that
Yesterday, true to the pattern with this type of weather, I had four Cassin’s
Finches (3 female, 1 male) visit my yard just below Mt Sanitas in north
Boulder. This morning at 8:15 there was a much larger flock than usual—about
30, possibly part of the flock seen up in Pine Brook Hills.
Got an interesting report today about Curve-billed Thrashers in Florissant,
Teller County, requested some photos to verify. The email I got on it is
posted below:

Just had 4 Cassin's show up on the porch picking up overspill from the feeders.
Was just reading about them being in Golden, so they're moving into the
suburbs. Keep your eyes peeled.

Birders,
I’m taking this week to become more familiar/adept with my iPhone’s Siri.
Does anyone know (I can’t find anything on the website) if Siri is able to be
